Excellent. The last part gives me lots of confidence because I'm told often that I have great passion for coding and learning.
Technical interview questions are my weak spot. I've spent quite a few hours understanding the concepts I'm expected to know and actually still working on it now. Coding some examples to coincide with the answers I'll give.

I can't code in Perl nowadays, but if I had to do it, I'll get it back in a few weeks. (I've been a UNIX Admin, not a coder since the early 00s). So I print out those tools and bring them to interviews. I say "I can't do this right now, but I've done this in the past and if I had to, I can re-learn how to do it again. I just got cobwebs because it's been since the dot com days when I coded in this language."
They eat it up every time because it's real. I got people who will vouch that I was the guy who wrote the tools.
So yeah, print up shit and bring it to interviews. Show them what you've done in the past and make a point that you LOVE doing this stuff and you're only going to get better.
Most importantly, show PASSION. Show that you LOVE doing this stuff. Passion leads to excellence.
